Yes, this part of imageinfo/videoinfo is still crufty. I think that @Anomie agrees, that no one is really happy with TMH extending ImageInfo and then calling that copy videoinfo. It's just that no one has proposed a better route yet, and is willing to deprecate this oft used endpoint.

And yes, i'm 10 days behind in IRC pings ;)

I do agree. See also T89971: ApiQueryImageInfo is crufty, needs rewrite.
